This training program will compare credit insurance with other risk mitigation techniques in order to understand situations where other alternatives are more appropriate. Attendees will learn how insurers are increasing the flexibility of the protection they offer and the risks they cover.

Why Should You Attend:

Get a handle on how to use credit insurance by analyzing real-life case studies. This session will explore recent innovations in types of coverage available, including key-account and single-buyer insurance, differences between named-buyer (European-style) and excess-of-loss (American-style) policies, and the relative merits of policies with cancellable limits and those with non-cancellable limits. In particular, the presenter will review situations where credit insurance was used by companies with four varied objectives: risk containment, improved credit decisioning, sales expansion, and increased financing.
